April 7 & 8, 2011 NIST Cloud Computing Workshop & Forum III
Support Action funded by the European Commission under FP7 (2007-2013) Research infrastructures projects
workshop sereis (January 2009, February 2010, March 2011) brings together experts, developers and end users in the cloud-computing space. Special emphasis on real use cases, best practices, policy issues & benefits of interoperability
Distributed Computing Infrastructures
(DCIs) projects from FP7
creation of a Roadmap of interoperability and collaboration between current e-Infrastructure initiatives, based on the requirements of their user communities
DCIs projects, SDOs and Policy groups involved together with the SIENA Experts Groups, with the support of the European Commisson
REB - Roadmap Editorial Board
The REB plays an editorial role in the writing of the SIENA roadmap by ensuring that the contents is aligned with EC, European and National Initiatives
IEG - Industry Expert Group
Aims to interact with enterprises to understand best practices emphasizing standards and interoperability
SLG - Special Liaison Group
Ensures nternational perspective on activities for driving forward the adoption of standards and developments for increased interoperability, aligning the initiative with changing global landscape
Some Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) involved User Communities April 7 & 8, 2011 NIST Cloud Computing Workshop & Forum III

March 2011 Main Recommendation:
Future actions: Fund participation in the long-term development of an adequate set of open standards to ensure the interoperability of future European infrastructures for research and e-government. future European infrastructures for research and e-government.
Public sector and commercial providers should engage more to explore shared standards requirements.
Track emerging standards, technologies, and best practices in order to create and maintain a structured repository of
with worldwide initiatives and other European projects (e.g. NIST, GICTF, CESI, CAMSS, SEMIC.eu, etc.) Encourage and fund the definition of sound security policies concerning the access, use and provisioning of services within distributed infrastructures. Introduce guidelines for dealing with data privacy, long term data curation, liability and taxation issues in clouds and grids for work across legislative boundaries. Fund procurement of open source or commercially provided software solutions allowing the research community to innovate in areas where they can add unique value beyond the scope of commercial solutions. Fund on-demand cross-domain provisioning of high-speed data transfer links (light paths) with defined service level agreements. Involve Europeans citizens in e-science through volunteer computing (using, e.g., desktop grids and clouds). April 7 & 8, 2011 NIST Cloud Computing Workshop & Forum III
We must raise the profile of data and its associated 'use cases' within the roadmap. Many communities are already seeing that the strength of cloud is within this area - therefore Data Management should be one of the focus areas of the roadmap.
We should document a possible production cloud profile for research using inputs from already ratified/recommended standards that are relevant. This could use any number of different communities for the 'lighthouse‘ (i.e. ELIXIR or CLARIN) already seeing the benefit of cloud and are working towards that paradigm. This last point was expanded wrt government organisations and procurement etc. about how organisations must not try to prescribe standards since there is always the chance of prescribing the wrong standards
1st iteration of the SIENA
European Roadmap on Grid and Cloud Standards for e-Science and Beyond More than 100 stakeholders Over 30 diverse speakers and panellists 25 use cases and position papers April 7 & 8, 2011 NIST Cloud Computing Workshop & Forum III
must not try to prescribe standards since there is always the chance of prescribing the wrong standards
Profile for clouds based on existing standards the same way as has been done for grids. OGF31 could be a starting point for discussion
Select standards based on quality not on prescriptions
done for grids. OGF31 could be a starting point for discussion
OGF31 Taipei, Taiwan March 21-25, 201
Standardising only one interface will not on its own promote interoperability: OCCI is a good start, Extending to include all possible other functionality is not an option – leads to inflexibility and no single thing can be suitable for all stake-holding communities
Federation of clouds is already a clear requirement in a number of communities OGF will produce an IaaS Cloud Interoperability Profile within 9 months building upon existing standards, from both inside and outside of OGF: OCCI – Management Interface SAML – Identity attributes OVF – Common Virtual format SRM, CDMI or GridFTP – Data movement GLUE2 – Service description UR & RUS – Accounting Driven by EU and UK research communities, hosted in DCI Federation working group
